He cast a glare her way, nostrils flaring with rage.
"It is my duty!" he spat out, looking clean mad enough to spit. "Something I had a calling for, a sacrifice for my country and it's ideals!" Who was this woman to mock him!?
"You know there is more to life than playing out in the woods all day, trying to capture boars and make them your pet." And it almost looked as if he might stick his tongue out at her like a child. But he did not, and looked sour as he cut a glance away.
"Marriage is not a topic I wish I discuss," he went on, clearing his throat and hoping she'd get the drift. He'd rather not talk about it. That.. aspect of life was a bit of a touchy subject- one of the few things he wish he hadn't have had to give up in order to serve. BUt as it were, that's what it broiled down to and he didn't want some pesky girl he'd only met just this morning to mock him for it. It was his choice, damn it!
Still, he'd feel lousy for it and refused to look at her, smacking at a mosquito that began to buzz around his head. Ugh.
